Personally, I think this should be the child's decision. Just an example--my parents had planned to name me Amelia but call me Amy. Then when I was born, my dad decided that nobody was going to call me Amy. But from age six to eleven, I demanded that my name actually was Amy. If the child wants to be called by their nickname, let them tell people. Who knows? Maybe Cricket would rather be called Catherine, especially by people that she just met.
